A shaded row is a word that stands 400 times or fewer in the Bible.

The number beside each verse is how many compiled reference works tie it to this one. The strongest six stand open.

Each card is a verse this one points to, and under it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it.
